I assume you are checking it in Internet Explorer, where it is a little off.

The reason is that it’s positioned there, is because that’s where it’s positioned if you wouldn’t rotate it. So, what actually happens is that you first position it all the way to the right, and then you rotate it 90 degrees using the button’s LEFT side as the rotation point.

Other browsers, who support full CSS rotation, rotate with the center as the rotation point.

I would advise to not use the rotation thingie, but just create a vertical button and position it without rotating. That way you won’t have to deal with the different ways browsers rotate elements.

Tips

What now? I have some ideas for you.

Go explore CodePen!

As a front end designer and developer, you should have an account on CodePen so you can save your snippets, present your ideas, and engage with other front end folk. I'd encourage you to go PRO as well, to unlock the full power of CodePen.

You should sign up for the CSS-Tricks newsletter. It's a clean copy of all the blog posts each week, combined together, right to your inbox. If email isn't your thing, there is an RSS feed, iTunes, and lots of other ways to subscribe.
